I believe the signup bonus is in league with all the other signup bonus changes.

They are giving larger increases than usual..

Personal plat once 100k max now 150k
Biz Plat, majority was 100k now its 150k galore
SPG was 25k max 30k now its 35k

Not sure why they are doing it, looks like they are desperately trying to sign up people

Maybe because they're confident that churn'ers can't abuse it anymore (...) so they're willing to shell out more to get real new customers?
